You guys are having too much fun :)

(I can see 500racer2 carrying those logs on his shoulders through snow right now... :D)

Rookie...sounds like you'll have more Kymco blue marks on you than stripes from all the other competition....

400racer....have you got a chance to change the jetting yet?

I got a guy ordering a few jets (diiferent sizes) and we are going to experiment on mine .... maybe next week. I will try the 148 first and go from there.

I want to get the white seondary spring in as well. Now I put the stiffer spring in my MXU300 and I like it on tight fast trails but don't like how it is on the open straight runs. It seems like it needs to shift to a higher gear but never does.
That is my only fear with going with the white spring on the 500....is is going to do the same...

Wow Dirt Devil II's are similiar to my XTR's....except they are not radials.

Is that a better tire for racing over the dirt tamers? I would have expected you to use the tamers before I would have thought you would use the DevilsII's...

I am just starting my thinking process on what tire I want to switch over to this coming summer....

Dirt Tamers? The new "Dirt Commander"? Which ones?
If not , what tire are you going to use?

Hey mxu500-  (feel like I am addressing myself ;))

How many miles you got on that '07 500?

Is the belt worn or are you just going to replace it because you are in removing the weights?

The white spring is a good, cheap mod for you. I have a question to you mxu, why do you use 26inch xtrs?  Are you in that much mud? Robey tell more about rejetting... ???

Excellent question about the tires .... When I first got my 500 it it was rainy season and all the places I rode were mud parks. I thought then that the 26" XTR's were ideal. But since then we have had a drought and most of the riding I do is not on mud anymore. I really would like to switch to a tire like the dirt tamers you are using ( I was looking at the bighorns already) . I just don't have the cash to go buying different tires at the moment.

Get some feedback from 500racer2 and the Manager on the jetting. They both actually have different opinions/experiences with jetting on the 500. One uses less and one recommends more.....I'd like to see what you come up with.

Mine backfires on decelleration as well..I have not rejetted although 500Racer2 recommended going to a 148 main.

500racer2...love the pictures.....did you say there was a quad in the picture? All I saw was the flat bellies :P

Hey guys...how would the white spring be for a trail rider like myself? Since I am running a larger/ heavier tire I would think it would be ideal. Would you recommend it (going to white spring)?

And my red, black, and silver seat cover. :o  Oh my ksa tall bend bars and nice red rox risers. ;D Kevin you're gonna be busy...

400racer...I'll take your stock bars (if they are the newer bend -08's) :). I have been waiting on the new ones to come in but months have past and they still have not arrived. I am trying to avoid going the riser/aftermarket bar route....want to keep it closer to stock if possible.

Sounds like that 500 of yours is going to be one pimped out racer 8)

I know Ken was running a stabilzer on his 500 last year. He said it helped a lot...I have been meaning to ask him what brand/model it was.

Walter for President! :)

Mongoose / Re: Who owns a 2008 Mongoose 300?

Sounds like a good project.
You mention "red" spring....do you mean the maroon 160lb spring? That is what I have in my MXU300.

I forgot to mention that I also had put 1.5 " wheel spacers on my MXU300....it makes it a lot more stable on off camber riding and fast turns. That is why I was pleased when I found out the 2008 Mongoose came with front and rear 2" wider on each side.

Here is a pict of me on the MXU300. Maybe you can tell it has the wider stance in the pict.

400 racer....you'd love riding the trails I have on my property. They are tight and full of roots and small stumps.
I try to race them (yeah.....sometimes I pretend I am a racer.lol) hard and do ride them pretty hard but with these stock handlebars ('07 bars are swept back too much) and these 26" XTR's.....the 500 is a handfull. I have to man handle it WAY too much to stay off a tree or make the next turn. I guess this is actually a good thing if I were training for a race. My son on his MXU150 can rip them up. I can do a good job on the 300 too.
A few years back I would invite you all to come ride here, but it has growed up around me so much lately (subdivisions everywhere) that I can't make as much racket as I use to.....somebody always complains eventually...

Sound like the 'Manager' has some good riding places....you going?
